MAH6500AWW Bearing and Tub Seal – How To Replace

MAH6500AWW Bearing and Tub Seal – How To Replace

If you own a MAH6500 and it sounds like a freight train it is time to replace your bearings. If you bother Ole’ Lonely he will quote you at least $950 or suggest that you scrap machine. You don’t want to scrap machine because you can save money by replacing your Neptune tub bearings and seal and be washing clothes soon. Ole’ Lonely will want to replace your large outer tub which runs over $500 alone! You don’t need to replace the expensive outer tub.

There are two seals that are available in the genuine 12002022 seal kit. The earlier lip seal and the revised lip seal. If you have the earlier lip seal (with plastic white spacer clip) you will need to replace it with the new earlier lip seal in the kit. If you would like to install the revised lip seal you will have to replace your W10181639 spinner support because its shaft is machined different.

It should take about 1 – 4 hours depending on how much cleaning you need to do while you’re in there and no special tools are required. You could save time by renting the Tony Tool which pulls the rear bearing out first. You then knock the front bearing out and then after some clean up you use the Tony Tool to install the new bearings and spacer. The tool kit rental includes an extra bearing spacer just in case you need it. The Maytag Neptune Bearing and 12002022 Seal kit also includes an ebook with more information and tips to help you be successful.

Depending on how long your machine has sounded like a jet plane you may need to heat up the aluminum hub when extracting the inner or front bearing. The aluminum has a higher expansion coefficient than the steel bearing does so the bearing housing should expand more than the bearing does thus loosening it up. Just don’t over heat it since some of the heat guns can really get hot.

The good news is that you don’t have the faulty brown tipped wax motor in your door latch. Only the timer knob based Neptune’s have the wax motor which would fail and damage the Q6 triac and R11 and the upper control board. See Neptune Help for more wax motor information. The digital Neptune models all use a solenoid to lock the door.

I hope this was helpful to you.

Kenmore Elite HE3 Bearing and Seal Kit – How To

Kenmore Elite HE3 Bearing and Seal Kit – How To

If you own a Kenmore Elite HE3 front load washer and it has morphed into a jet plane… I have great news!  You can replace your bearings and seal and save! I would expect 3 hours for the repair depending on how much cleaning you do while you have the Elite disassembled. You won’t need any special tools to replace the tub seal and bearings. See Elite Bearing for the tub bearing and seal kits. The Elite kit works on the HE3, HE3T, HE4, HE4T, HE5 and HE5T models. If you have the HE2 model you will need this 8540347 bearing and Seal kit.

When you notice the washer getting louder usually in high speed spin mode you will want to take action asap before the rust sets in the bearings. Otherwise, you may have a bearing that hangs up and scores the support bracket shaft. Whirlpool only offers the support brackets along with a new stainless steel basket as an assembly which drives up the cost considerably. If your support bracket shaft is damaged you can repair it by taking it to a machine shop where they can install a sleeve or weld up the area and machine it back down again for the new bearing.

I hope this was helpful.

Whirlpool Duet wfw9200sqa12 Bearing Kit – How To Replace

Whirlpool Duet wfw9200sqa12 Bearing Kit – How To    

   

I have seen where some wfw9200sqa12 washers have been having the bearing failure. You can replace your wfw9200sqa12 tub bearings and seal. See www.washerbearings.com

In general, you have to dis assemble your wfw9200sqa12 to the point where you remove the large tub assembly and then you split it and then you can remove the inner stainless steel basket/support bracket assembly. Take some digital photos along the way to help the reassembly process.

Once you have the rear tub all to itself, you can pry the worn seal out and that should expose the front ( or inner) bearing. I use a socket and extension to tap out the smaller rear bearing first. Note: Check for a retainer clip (snap ring) on the rear bearing before you start tapping it. After rear bearing is out I then turn the tub over and start tapping the front bearing.

When tapping in new bearings keep the impacts on the outer race of bearing because you can damage new bearing if you tap on the inner race when installing it in a bearing housing. Reverse the process and reassemble machine, test run and look for any leaks and notice the quietness J
